The purpose of this blog is to correct all the errors the popular media, movies, videogames and countless drawings depict relating to bows and archery.

This has potential, also thumb grip is cool
Now this is a character design by someone who actually cares a little about believability. So I hope he takes this criticism as a friendly advice, since there is potential of this to become better.
Mistakes:
1. The bow does not bend. It looks like it is when not being pulled. I have drawn the more probably arc when the bow is pulled in red.
2. The archer does not need to bend their head this way. Looking down the shaft of the arrow is completely unnecessary, it's something beginners do.
3. This number is for the back quiver. I would rather see a hip quiver, since they are better and were the ones mostly used in history. Back quivers are really impractical.
Good: The stance of the archer is good, and the arms are parallel. That's quite good. Also the grip of the arrow is the Mongolian thumb grip, which is perfectly okay, and drawn okay too. The tip of the arrow is too big, but I don't want to complain about it now, since it's just a minor mistake.
